More quotes by William Shakespeare
No particular scandal one can touch but it confounds the breather.
William Shakespeare
Yet nor the lays of birds nor the sweet smell Of different flowers in odour and in hue Could make me any summer's story tell, Or from their proud lap pluck them where they grew Nor did I wonder at the lily's white, Nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose They were but sweet, but figures of delight, Drawn after you, you pattern of all those.
William Shakespeare
Pleasure and action make the hours seem short.
William Shakespeare
The small amount of foolery wise men have makes a great show.
William Shakespeare
I loved Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers could not, with all their quantity of love, make up my sum.
William Shakespeare
I fill up a place, which may be better... when I have made it empty.
William Shakespeare
Cordelia! stay a little. Ha! What is't thou say'st? Her voice was ever soft.
William Shakespeare
Send danger from the east unto the west, so honor cross it from the north to south.
William Shakespeare
It is a heretic that makes the fire, Not she which burns in it.
William Shakespeare
He is as full of valor as of kindness. Princely in both.
William Shakespeare
If love be blind, love cannot hit the mark
William Shakespeare
And makes me poor indeed.
William Shakespeare
There is a devilish mercy in the judge, if you'll implore it, that will free your life, but fetter you till death.
William Shakespeare
I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was.
William Shakespeare
Thy wish was father, Harry, to that thought.
William Shakespeare
so full of shapes is fancy
William Shakespeare
Nay then, let the devil wear black, for I'll have a suit of sables.
William Shakespeare
If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men’s cottages princes’ palaces. It is a good divine that follows his own instructions: I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching.
William Shakespeare
Music can minister to minds diseased, pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, raze out the written troubles of the brain, and with its sweet oblivious antidote, cleanse the full bosom of all perilous stuff that weighs upon the heart.
William Shakespeare
Better conquest never canst thou make than arm thy constant and thy nobler parts against giddy, loose suggestions.
William Shakespeare
